CentralChamps21 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Just to recap: Georgia passes racist voting laws - Braves, who have no control over that, lose the All-Star game. Yankees 3B/DH makes racist statements to another player - No punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game would also start with both starting pitchers warned in all likelihood. Edited May 21, 2022 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since the last game/s between them in the regular season. But then some will read that action as a tacit admission of guilt on the part of the Yankees. They might double down in defending him. It's going to be interesting to see how they try to wiggle out of it.

Do you think Donaldson who just got into it with Anderson last weekend and who has been an enemy of the Sox for a half decade including trying to fight a Sox player in the parking lot last year meant it km a friendly way?

No, not at all. Donaldson is an asshole, I've said it for years. But when I first heard that he called Anderson "Jackie" I couldn't believe even he would do something that stupid. It seemed like he was calling him "Jackie" just because he's black. But now that I hear the reason is because Anderson said he feels like today's Jackie Robinson the comment makes more sense. Rather than it being a random racial comment it's basically Donaldson mocking Anderson for comparing himself to the great Jackie Robinson. Quite a big difference. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is stupid. He should show up tomorrow and apologize to Tim face to face, and move on. And by move on, keep your yap shut, Josh.

Or, it actually could have racist undertones, there's no way for anyone but Josh in his own head to know. Personally, I'm not buying the excuse. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of agree here, tho they should still suspend his ass for a few games. He’s a POS human. But there’s no real proof it was a blatant racial remark as opposed to mocking TA for comparison himself to an all time great. That said, Sox could use something to fire them up. Not opposed to some more fireworks tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
